tested the same device in students without symptoms, and reportedly picked up just 3% of PCR-positive cases. John Deeks, professor of Biostatistics at the University of Birmingham, said in a statement to the Science Media Centre that rapid antigen tests should be, as if it were a new drug, before mass testing is rolled out.
The information is confused because the studies compare against testing PCR positive, rather than how infectious someone is. I think we should "test before you go" to workplaces where most mixing happens. And places like supermarkets. [Testing supermarket workers] will have a knock on effect of protecting the customer, and the local community. We can learn that from where the tests are first applied to very large numbers of people — what are the effects on behavior of getting a negative result?
SciInsider Duh!!! Unclear whether rapid tests on detect the new variants. COVID-19
